Oh yeah and BIG THANKS FOR THE WORDS 😎 Was kinda making parts up a little cause I couldn't tell for sure GOD Knows I listened to them enuff . Honestly In my own way I kinda lived every bit of these life changing albums and lived every minute 🤘🏻😁😎😎
Been a huge G n R fan for years but I've never really paid any attention to this song till this week. Never realized just how good it is. Better late than never I guess!
"Take a closer look I'm not to bla - aaaa - aaame... mmmm - if love is blind I think I'll find myself a caaaane..." this part does it for me, stuck in my head since 1991 and never got out.. art in its purest form
This tune is peaks and valleys man. Takes you on such a journey musically. They threw "safe" and "formula" out the window and just went deep with this one. Fucking epic.
Great song, the most underrated gnr's song... This part at least for me is so deep: I bought me an illusion An I put it on the wall I let it fill my head with dreams And I had to have them all But oh the taste is never so sweet As what you'd believe it is
3:54 "I've worked too hard for my illusions just to throw them all away" I always heard that as "I've worked too hard for my illusions -- there's the door, they're a mile away!" _(I'm pretty sure I read it that way in the Use Your Illusion 2 CD booklet -- tell me I'm wrong.)_
This is one of my top5 favorite songs of all time, from any band. So when they played this in 2019 at the Oklahoma City show I legit lost my fucking mind!! The people around me thought I was crazy. Yet, these are the same people that lost their minds when SCOM got played and I use that song as a piss break and a chance to buy merch with no line.. 😂. Give me the deep cuts.
Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain If I said that you're my friend And our love would never end How long before I had your trust again I opened up the doors when it was cold outside Hopin' that you'd find your own way in But how can I protect you Or try not to neglect you When you won't take the love I have to give I bought me an illusion An I put it on the wall I let it fill my head with dreams And I had to have them all But oh the taste is never so sweet As what you'd believe it is - Well I guess it never is It's these prejudiced illusions That pump the blood To the heart of the biz You know I never thought That it could take so long You know I never knew how to be strong Yeah, I let you shape me But it feels as though you raped me 'Cause you climbed inside my world And in my songs So now I've closed the door To keep the cold outside Seems somehow I've found the will to live But how can I forget you Or try not to reject you When we both know it takes time to forgive Sweetness is a virtue And you lost your virtue long ago You know I'd like to hurt you But my conscience always tells me no You could sell your body on the street To anyone whom you might meet Who'd love to try and get inside And bust your innocence open wide 'Cause my baby's got a locomotive My baby's gone off the track My baby's got a locomotive Got ta peel the bitch off my back I know it looks like I'm insane Take a closer look I'm not to blame No Gonna have some fun with my frustrations Gonna watch the big screen in my head I'd rather take a detour 'cause this road ain't gettin' clearer Your train of thought has cut me off again Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one Better tame that boy for he's a man Sweetheart don't make me laugh You's gettin' too big for your pants And I's think maybe you should Cut out while you can You can use your illusion - Let it take you where it may We live and learn And then sometimes it's best to walk away Me I'm just here hangin' on It's my only place to stay at least For now anyway I've worked too hard for my illusions Just to throw them all away I'm taking time quiet consolation In passing by this love that's passed away I know it's never easy So why should you believe me When I've always got so many things to say Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made 'Cause playful hearts Can sometimes be enraged You know I tried to wake you I mean how long could it take you To open up your eyes and turn the page Kindness is a treasure And it's one towards me you've seldom shown So I'd say it for a good measure To all the ones like you I've known Ya know I'd like to shave your head And all my friends could paint it red 'Cause love to me's a two way street An all I really want is peace But my baby's got a locomotive My baby's gone off the track My baby's got a locomotive Got ta peel the bitch off my back I know it looks like I'm insane Take a closer look I'm not to blame No Affection is a blessing Can you find it in your sordid heart I tried to keep this thing ta-gether But the tremor tore my pad apart Yeah I know it's hard to face When all we've worked for's gone to waste But you're such a stupid woman And I'm such a stupid man But love like time's got its own plans 'Cause my baby's got a locomotive My baby's gone off the track My baby's got a locomotive Got ta peel the bitch off my back I know it looks like I'm insane Take a closer look I'm not to blame Yeah If love is blind I guess I'll buy myself a cane Love's so strange
It was one of my favs since the day Illusions were released. Imagine my surprise when, 30 years after whatching them live for the first time ,this one started to sound 9-6-2023... I just could not believed it. It was a blast 🎉

Couldn't agree more, I loved it in 1991 at 16 years old

Same
SAME!!
True... Blue
This tune is peaks and valleys man. Takes you on such a journey musically. They threw "safe" and "formula" out the window and just went deep with this one. Fucking epic.
Yes!! There's so much going on in this song.
Great song, the most underrated gnr's song...
This part at least for me is so deep:
I bought me an illusion
An I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams
And I had to have them all
But oh the taste is never so sweet
As what you'd believe it is
How so
Best writing by Axel ever. The lyrical sturcture and flow is awe inspiring.
This song is so underrated. It's been one of my favorites since I first heard it.
This music could only be creation of a genius.
This song would make any band... for GNR just a forgotten song...
That just means the True GNR fans can cherish it
SO TRUE
The guitar riffs & lyrics are Magic. What a song !
I love this band...and this song too!
I don't know why but I love 6:30-8:43
Because love's so strangeee
Who doesn’t! That shit is fire!
It could have been a great song by itself
Everybody love this part...
I think it's the haunting piano
Boa musica perfeita desde 1987 quando eu tinha 17 anos de idade já curtia guns n roses e sempre vou curtir guns n rose para sempre
Love the flow of “you know I never thought that it could take so long”
Fuckin love this song, Axl being super pretentious while Slash does his thing and murders the song... Maybe the most underrated gnr song
Damn Slash's solo in here is insane
Who still listening dis epic rock song in 2021
jan 2022
October 2022
Awesome lyrics
Hay bandas que solo tienen un gran éxito los Guns tienen muchos,que grandes!
"If Love is blind, I guess I will buy myself a cane! "This is awelsome!
One of gnrs best 👌 juggernaut of a song!
A masterpiece,,,,,,
3:54 "I've worked too hard for my illusions just to throw them all away"
I always heard that as "I've worked too hard for my illusions -- there's the door, they're a mile away!" _(I'm pretty sure I read it that way in the Use Your Illusion 2 CD booklet -- tell me I'm wrong.)_
One of the Best!
This is a really good song these guys came up with in 1991
😇❤️. Heartbreaking touching..... Entertaining as you know!!!
Thanks QL
Excellent lyrics a masterpiece
3:37
Masterpiece. AMEN

Rocket queen is damn good also
Slash with the rare Uni-Vibe appearance at 6:34
If love is blind i guess I'll buy myself a can ".🍺🍻
If love is blind I guess I’ll buy myself cocaine

The Perils of Rock And Roll Decadence!....

Imo. Its their best song ever and thats saying alot
Can somebody explain to me what is the meaning of this song??
You better lemme know just a.....literal word to me personal. Or I won't know.....
I thought he says "you know I tried to wait" instead of "to wake you"...any confirmation in any direction?🤔 forgive my freakynesss, 😬😂
pretty sure it’s you know i tried to wake you
Instrumental Karaoke... UGH !!!!
Maybe I can sing it real good too ha
.he.. ! !
Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you're my friend
And our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
Hopin' that you'd find your own way in
But how can I protect you
Or try not to neglect you
When you won't take the love I have to give
I bought me an illusion
An I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams
And I had to have them all
But oh the taste is never so sweet
As what you'd believe it is -
Well I guess it never is
It's these prejudiced illusions
That pump the blood
To the heart of the biz
You know I never thought
That it could take so long
You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me
But it feels as though you raped me
'Cause you climbed inside my world
And in my songs
So now I've closed the door
To keep the cold outside
Seems somehow I've found the will to live
But how can I forget you
Or try not to reject you
When we both know it takes time to forgive
Sweetness is a virtue
And you lost your virtue long ago
You know I'd like to hurt you
But my conscience always tells me no
You could sell your body on the street
To anyone whom you might meet
Who'd love to try and get inside
And bust your innocence open wide
'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
My baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look I'm not to blame
No
Gonna have some fun with my frustrations
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I'd rather take a detour
'cause this road ain't gettin' clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again
Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one
Better tame that boy for he's a man
Sweetheart don't make me laugh
You's gettin' too big for your pants
And I's think maybe you should
Cut out while you can
You can use your illusion -
Let it take you where it may
We live and learn
And then sometimes it's best to walk away
Me I'm just here hangin' on
It's my only place to stay at least
For now anyway
I've worked too hard for my illusions
Just to throw them all away
I'm taking time quiet consolation
In passing by this love that's passed away
I know it's never easy
So why should you believe me
When I've always got so many things to say
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
'Cause playful hearts
Can sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you
I mean how long could it take you
To open up your eyes and turn the page
Kindness is a treasure
And it's one towards me you've seldom shown
So I'd say it for a good measure
To all the ones like you I've known
Ya know I'd like to shave your head
And all my friends could paint it red
'Cause love to me's a two way street
An all I really want is peace
But my baby's got a locomotive
My baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look I'm not to blame
No
Affection is a blessing
Can you find it in your sordid heart
I tried to keep this thing ta-gether
But the tremor tore my pad apart
Yeah I know it's hard to face
When all we've worked for's gone to waste
But you're such a stupid woman
And I'm such a stupid man
But love like time's got its own plans
'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
My baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look I'm not to blame
Yeah
If love is blind I guess I'll buy myself a cane
Love's so strange
Very helpful...
i really hate this song.
Are you trying to get a reaction or do you actually hate this song?
